Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, it can make a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if the sides make a right triangle.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

We are given the side lengths: 5cm, 13cm, and 12 cm.

13cm is the longest, so it would be 'c'.

5cm and 12cm will be 'a' and 'b'.

Let 5 be 'a', 12 be 'b', and 13 be 'c':

$5^2+12^2=13^2\\\\\text{Solve the Exponents:}\\ \rightarrow 5^2=25\\\rightarrow 12^2=144\\\rightarrow 13^2=169\\\\25+144=169\\\boxed{169=169}$

5cm, 13cm, and 12 cm would make a right triangle. It satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.
